“If one believed that the universe had a beginning, the obvious question was, what happened before the beginning,” Hawking said.

“What was God doing before He made the world?

Was He preparing hell for people who asked such questions?”

According to Hawking, the origin of the universe can be depicted as bubbles in a steam in boiling water.

"earlier reported that former HP chairwoman Patricia Dunn would plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of fraudulent wire communications stemming from her involvement in last year's corporate eavesdropping scandal.

The story was later amended after charges again st Dunn were dropped.

The original charges, four felony counts, were reduced to misdemeanors in exchange for a plea bargain.

Her three co-defendants are expected to receive 96 hours of community service; in Dunn's case this sentence is likely to be waived due to illness." Update:

15.Mar.2007 03/15 02:21 GMT by KD : The prosecutor in the case issued a correction to the eariler pronouncement that Dunn would plead guilty to a misdemeanor.

"At court today, Patricia Dunn did not enter any plea in response to the misdemeanor count + the court exercised its discretion by dismissing the case against her," the revised statement said.

October through December was the most violent three-month period since 2003 . …

‘Some elements of the situation in Iraq are properly descriptive of a ‘civil war,’

including the hardening of ethno-sectarian identities + mobilization, the changing character of the violence + population displacements,’” the report says.
15.Mar.2007 Leahy Says He’ll Subpoena Rove, Discusses Potential Crimes Involved In Attorney Purge - Nico  -

Today on ’s Situation Room,

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) blew off White House signals that Karl Rove + other senior Bush officials may resist testifying before Congress on the U.S. Attorney purge.

“Frankly, I don’t care whether [White House Counsel Fred Fielding] says he’s going to allow people or not.

We’ll subpoena the people we want,” Leahy said. “If they want to defy the subpoena, then you get into a stonewall situation I suspect they don’t want to have.”

Asked whether he’ll subpoena Rove, Leahy answered, “Yes. He can appear voluntarily if he wants. If he doesn’t, I will subpoena him.”

Leahy also addressed the right-wing talking point that the U.S. Attorney firings are meaningless because there “was no crime.”

Leahy said that while President Bush has the authority to fire attorneys at will, “if it is done to stop an ongoing investigation, then you do get into the criminal area.”

Regardless, he said, the administration’s politicization of attorneys “hurts law enforcement.

That hurts fighting against crime.” Asked if he thinks any Bush officials may have committed perjury, Leahy said, “We’ll find that out.”

15.Mar.2007 Bush Falsely Claims His Prosecutor Purge Is ‘A Customary Practice By Presidents’ - Amanda  -

Today during a press briefing in Mexico, President Bush attempted to defend his prosecutor purge, stating that firing prosecutors “has been a customary practice by presidents.

U.S. attorneys + others serve at the pleasure of the President.

Past administrations have removed U.S. attorneys. It is their right to do so.” Watch it:

Mass firings are common when a president takes office. But as current and former administration officials have confirmed, Bush’s purge of well-qualified prosecutors is unprecendented.

Gonzales chief of staff Kyle Sampson (resigned two days ago), 1/9/07:

In recent memory, during the Reagan + Clinton Administrations, Presidents Reagan + Clinton did not seek to remove + replace U.S. Attorneys to serve indefinitely under the holdover provision.

Former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, 3/8/07:

Mr. Rove’s claims [last week] that the Bush administration’s purge of qualified and capable U.S. attorneys is “normal and ordinary” is pure fiction .

Replacing most U.S. attorneys when a new administration comes in — as we did 00.000.1993 +

the Bush administration did 00.000.2001 — is not unusual. But the Clinton administration never fired federal prosecutors as pure political retribution.

Former U.S. attorney Mary Jo White, 3/5/07:

However, throughout modern history, my understanding is, you did not change the U.S. attorney during an administration, unless there was some evidence of misconduct or other really quite significant cause to do so.

15.Mar.2007 Patrick Fitzgerald Chosen As U.S. Attorney Over Rove Pressure - Nico  -

15.Mar.2007 -yesterday- Former Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) revealed that

00.000.2001 Karl Rove pressured him to choose a U.S. Attorney who he believed would be lenient in probing state corruption, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Peter Fitzgerald ended up choosing Patrick Fitzgerald (no relation), who was later named Special Prosecutor in the CIA leak case.

From the Tribune:

[Rove told Sen. Fitzgerald] in the spring of 2001 that he should limit his choice for U.S. attorney in Chicago to someone from Illinois.

According to Fitzgerald, who was determined to bring in a prosecutor from outside the state, Rove “just said we don’t want you going outside the state. We don’t want to be moving U.S. attorneys around.”

Fitzgerald said he believes Rove was trying to influence the selection in reaction to pressure from Rep. Dennis Hastert, then speaker of the House + allies of then-Gov. George Ryan, who knew Fitzgerald was seeking someone from outside Illinois to attack political corruption.

Fitzgerald said he announced his choice, Patrick Fitzgerald, a New Yorker, on May 13, a Mother’s Day Sunday, to pre-empt any opposition.

According to Peter Fitzgerald, a year or so later, Karl Rove “said to me that Fitzgerald appointment got great headlines for you, but it ticked off the base.”

Peter Fitzgerald said he believes the “base” was Illinois Republican insiders “upset at the prosecutor’s assault on corruption.”

Little did Rove know that Fitzgerald would be ticking him and the White House off two years later. Digg It! (HT: TP reader Linda)

14.Mar.2007 New Hydrogen Storage Technique - ScuttleMonkey 42 - pwp writes to mention that

researchers at the University of New Brunswick are reporting they have found a new method of storing hydrogen gas. The new method is able to condense hydrogen gas into a usable solid under mild conditions.

"Hydrogen gas is typically stored under pressure in large metal cylinders, approximately four feet high. These cylinders are heavy and expensive to transport.

Since they are under pressure, they also pose a safety hazard. 'We've reached a milestone with our ability to condense hydrogen into a usable solid,' said Dr. McGrady.

'The next step is to produce a safe, compact storage system for the compound that is both lightweight and affordable.'

The research is expected to produce reversible hydrogen storage materials that can be processed into a powder for use in limitless commercial applications."

Quoting: "Tests on mice showed they grew new brain cells in a brain region called the dentate gyrus, a part of the hippocampus that is known to be affected in the age-related memory decline that begins around age 30 for most humans. Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging scans to help document the process in mice — and then used MRIs to look at the brains of people before and after exercise.

They found the same patterns, which suggests that people also grow new brain cells when they exercise."

14.Mar.2007 White House Signals It Will Fight To Block Rove Testimony - Nico  -

During a press briefing yesterday, presidential counselor Dan Bartlett signaled that the White House will fight congressional efforts to have Karl Rove testify about his role in the U.S. Attorney purge.

I find it highly unlikely that a member of the White House staff would testify publicly to these matters, but that doesn’t mean we won’t find other ways to try to share that information.

Press Secretary Tony Snow was also resistant:

Well, as you know, Ed, it has been traditional in all White Houses not to have staffers testify on Capitol Hill.

So I think what we have been trying to do is to work in a way to be as forthcoming with members of Congress —

you saw all the emails coming out today — give them all the information so that they can make a fair judgment about it.

Of course the White House doesn’t want Karl Rove to testify.

Just last month, a top Justice Department official told Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in a letter that the “Department is not aware of Karl Rove playing any role in the decision to appoint [Rove ally Tim] Griffin” as U.S. Attorney in Arkansas. Now the White House acknowledges that Rove “served as a conduit for complaints about federal prosecutors.”

In emails released yesterday, former Gonzales aide Kyle Sampson writes, “I know that getting [Griffen] appointed was important to Harriet, Karl, et cetera.”

When a GOP chairman in New Mexico complained about a U.S. Attorney, Rove reportedly told him, “He’s gone.”

And news reports indicate that Rove’s office may have been involved in problems involving the U.S. Attorney from Washington state, John McKay.

Thankfully, Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VA) isn’t backing down.

Last night on PBS, Leahy referred to Tim Griffen as Rove’s “acolyte,” + said he will “insist” that senior White House officials testify “in public, in sworn testimony, under oath“:

I intend to bring the attorney general up here. I am requesting several other people to come up here, certainly Mr. Sampson, Ms. Miers, I assume eventually Karl Rove.

If they don’t come, then I’ll seek to subpoena them up here, because the story changes almost every time we pick up the newspaper. […]

What I want to find out is what happened, why we’ve been given different stories. And I want those answers, not in an informal briefing;

I want those answers in public, in sworn testimony, under oath before my committee. As chairman, that’s what I insist. Digg It!
14.Mar.2007 NYT: Congress should broaden attorney probe. - Nico  - From its editorial today:

Congress should broaden the investigation to determine whether any other prosecutors were forced out for not caving in to political pressure — or kept on because they did.

There was, for example, the decision by United States Attorney Chris Christie of New Jersey to open an investigation of Senator Bob Menendez just before his hotly contested re-election last November.

Republicans, who would have held the Senate if Mr. Menendez had lost, used the news for attack ads.

Then there was the career United States attorney in Guam who was

00.000.2002 the career United States attorney in Guam removed by Mr. Bush after he started investigating the superlobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The prosecutor was replaced. The investigation was dropped.

The Senate voted 60-38 to approve legislation “to implement many of the remaining reforms suggested by the Sept. 11 commission .” Ten Republicans crossed party lines to approve the measure; Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipped the vote to fundraise in California. Bush has threatened to veto the bill “over a provision to expand the labor rights of 45,000 airport screeners.”

78: %age of Americans who “do not think the Bush administration has done enough to care for [Iraq war] veterans,” a new CBS/NYT poll shows. “A majority of Republicans agree with all Americans overall on this issue.”

The New York Times reveals more “shameful details…on the neglectful care extended to soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan .” The Army’s inspector general reports that “more than nine out of 10 disabled veterans have been kept waiting for benefit evaluations beyond the 40-day limit set by the Pentagon. Some have waited up to a year and a half for benefits.”

“A national survey showing a soaring number of homeowners failed to make their mortgage payments in the last quarter of 2006 rattled lawmakers in Washington and the markets in New York yesterday, as the Dow Jones industrial average plummeted 2 %, or nearly 243 points.”

14.Mar.2007 White House turning on Gonzales? - Nico  - From the NYT:

[Gonzales’] appearance underscored what two Republicans close to the Bush administration described as a growing rift between the White House and the attorney general . Mr. Gonzales has long been a confidant of the president but has aroused the ire of lawmakers of both parties on several issues, including the administration’s domestic eavesdropping program.

The two Republicans, who spoke anonymously so they could share private conversations with senior White House officials, said top aides to Mr. Bush, including Fred F. Fielding, the new White House counsel, were concerned that the controversy had so damaged Mr. Gonzales’s credibility that he would be unable to advance the White House agenda on national security matters, including terrorism prosecutions.

“I really think there’s a serious estrangement between the White House and Alberto now,” one of the Republicans said.
14.Mar.2007 State GOP Chairman With Close Rove Ties Admits Pressuring Attorney - Nico  -

The Seattle Times reports tonight that a chairman of the Washington state Republican Party with ties to Karl Rove pressured U.S. Attorney John McKay to launch a criminal probe during the hotly contested 2004 governor’s race, which had been certified in favor of the Democratic candidate. The ex-chairman, Chris Vance, “said that he was in contact with the White House’s political office at the time.”

Vance said then-U.S. Attorney John McKay made it clear he would not discuss whether his office was investigating allegations of voter fraud in the election. He said McKay cut off the conversation.

“ I thought it was part of my job, to be a conduit ,” Vance, who now operates a consulting business, said in a telephone interview. “ We had a Republican secretary of state, a Republican prosecutor in King County and a Republican U.S. attorney + no one was doing anything. “

Vance’s revelation may be new evidence of a wider level of involvement by Karl Rove in the U.S. Attorney purge. Vance and Rove reportedly worked closely on state politics. The Republican gubernatorial candidate 00.000.2004, Dino Rossi, was the candidate “Vance and Rove wanted,” the Seattle Times noted 00.000.2005. Rove and Vance also reportedly worked to get Rep. Jennifer Dunn (R-WA) to launch a Senate bid.

McKay is a Republican and was appointed by President Bush. The alleged voter fraud he was being pressured to probe had already been investigated by prosecutors in his office and the FBI, who “never found any evidence of criminal conduct.” Nevertheless, he was pressured both by a GOP official and Rep. Doc Hastings’s (R-WA) office to convene a federal grand jury.

In emails released today, we learned that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ chief of staff Kyle Sampson wrote then-White House Counsel Harriet Miers in Sept. 2006 and identified McKay as one of five U.S. attorneys “we should now consider pushing out.” That same month, Miers called McKay directly interviewed McKay for a federal judgeship position and asked him to explain why he had “mishandled” the governor’s race. By December, McKay had been fired and denied the federal judgeship. Shortly afterwards, a Gonzales aide called McKay to offer him a deal: “you stay silent and the attorney general won’t say anything bad about you.”
14.Mar.2007 Edwards, Clinton call on Gonzales to resign. - Nico  - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has joined former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) in calling for Alberto Gonzales to step down. UPDATE: Dan Froomkin weighs in:

No one would deny that one of the duties of the president of the USA is to place people of his choosing in key positions throughout the executive branch, including in key law-enforcement positions. […]

But in law-enforcement jobs — such as the attorney general, the director of the FBI + the country’s 93 U.S. attorneys — overtly partisan behavior is a more troubling problem. While the men and women in those positions serve at the pleasure of the president, it is also a critically important part of their job to remain independent.

That’s because it’s flatly un-American for the law to be used as a political weapon. It erodes public confidence in the justice system + offends the American commitment to fairness. It’s the sort of thing that, quite properly, can lead to impeachment.

14.Mar.2007 Rove’s deputy involved in attorney purge. - Nico  -

Emails released today show that Karl Rove’s deputy Scott Jennings was involved in the effort to purge Arkansas U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins in favor of Rove “protege” Tim Griffen, despite claims from the Justice Department to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) last month that Rove had “no role” in Griffin’s appointment.

“Tim said he got a call from Bud offering this idea,” Jennings wrote to Alberto Gonzales’ chief of staff Kyle Sampson in late August, “that Tim come on board as a special [assistant U.S. attorney] while Bud finalizes his private sector plans. That would alleviate pressure/implication that Tim forced Bud out. Any thoughts on that?”

“I think it’s a great idea,” Sampson responded.

The Justice Department made Griffin a special assistant USA in Arkansas the next month. Finally, in December, Griffin was made the U.S. attorney.
14.Mar.2007 Conservative support for Gonzales ‘tepid.’ - Nico  -

“Even among some Senate Judiciary Republicans, backing for Gonzales was tepid,” CQ reports:

“Appearances are troubling. This has not been handled well,” said John Cornyn, R-Texas. “But in Texas we believe in having a fair trial and then the hanging.”

Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions said he has had “a great relationship with the attorney general. But he’ll have to answer for this just like he does on other matters before us.”

Even more cryptic was Tom Coburn, R-Okla., when asked if he supports the attorney general. “I think we’ve got to have one.” This one? he was asked. “I didn’t answer that.”

14.Mar.2007 Lawmakers Urge Investigation Into Administration’s Prosecutor Purge In Abramoff Case - Amanda  -

In recent weeks, Congress has investigated the Bush administration’s recent purge of qualified, well-respected U.S. attorneys. But one former prosecutor — Frederick A. Black — has received little attention. The administration fired Black shortly after he began investigating Jack Abramoff’s dealings in Guam.

Today in a letter to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Reps. George Miller (D-CA) and Nick Rahall (D-WV) urge Congress to investigate “the potential political manipulation by Jack Abramoff and his allies in Congress and the Administration” in the Black case:

At the time, we viewed the replacement of the Acting U.S. Attorney as an example of the overly zealous and improper, if not illegal, conduct by the now disgraced and convicted lobbyist, Jack Abramoff.

In light of more recent revelations about political interference with the work of other U.S. Attorneys, however, it is necessary now to re-examine the case as it may represent the beginning of a pattern of behavior by some members of Congress and officials in the Bush Administration to politicize the work of U.S. Attorneys and to quash their independence .

00.000.2002, Black launched an investigation into Jack Abramoff’s “secret arrangement with Superior Court officials to lobby against a court reform bill then pending in Congress.”

18.Nov.2002 Black issued a grand jury subpoena to the Guam Superior Court to turn over all records involving the lobbying contract with Abramoff. The administration swiftly punished Black:

A day later, the chief prosecutor, US Attorney Frederick A. Black, who had launched the investigation, was demoted. A White House news release announced that Bush was replacing Black.

The timing caught some by surprise. Despite his officially temporary status as the acting US attorney, Black had held the assignment for more than a decade.

An internal Justice Department investigation concluded that the White House did not improperly retaliate against Black for raising allegations against Abramoff. But the probe into Abramoff’s activities in Guam died shortly after Black stepped down.

14.Mar.2007 Gonzales: Sampson still on payroll. - Nico  -

At his press conference today, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales acknowledged that his former chief of staff Kyle Sampson, who resigned over the scandal yesterday, remains on the Justice Department payroll.

“His transition — as a technical matter, he is at the Department as he transitions out and looks for another employment.”

More Gonzales: “I acknowledge that mistakes were made here. I accept that responsibility + my pledge to the American people is to find out what went wrong here, to assess accountability + to make improvements so that the mistakes that occurred in this instance do not occur again in the future.”

UPDATE: CREW calls for a special prosecutor to investigate potential criminal violations.

UPDATE II: Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) responded to Gonzales: “Did the attorney general not know that 8 U.S. attorneys were to be fired? He didn’t know, he shouldn’t be attorney general, plain and simple.

That is not a minor personnel decision. That is a major act that has shaken the integrity of the U.S. attorney offices — not only those in question — but all of them, to the core.” Watch it:
14.Mar.2007 Gonzales Chief Of Staff Rebuts Rove Claim That Clinton Purged Prosecutors Too - Amanda  -

At a speech last week in Little Rock, Karl Rove described the Bush administration’s purge of federal prosecutors as “normal and ordinary,” claiming that Clinton did the same thing.

“Clinton, when he came in, replaced all 93 U.S. attorneys,” Rove said.

“When we came in, we ultimately replace most all 93 U.S. attorneys — there are some still left from the Clinton era in place.

… What happened in this instance, was there were seven done all at once + people wanted to play politics with it.” Watch it:

But in an e-mail to Harriet Miers on

09.Jan.2007 Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’s chief of staff Kyle Sampson (who resigned yesterday) admitted that the Clinton administration never purged its U.S. attorneys in the middle of their terms,

explicitly stating,

“In recent memory, during the Reagan + Clinton Administrations, Presidents Reagan + Clinton did not seek to remove + replace U.S. Attorneys to serve indefinitely under the holdover provision”:

Former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta previously told ThinkProgress that Rove’s claims that the Clinton administration also purged attorneys is “pure fiction.”

He added, “Replacing most U.S. attorneys when a new administration comes in — as we did 00.000.1993 + the Bush administration did 00.000.2001 — is not unusual.

But the Clinton administration never fired federal prosecutors as pure political retribution.” (The Gavel has more.)
14.Mar.2007 Ensign ‘Flabbergasted’ Over Attorney Firing: It Was ‘Completely Mishandled By The Attorney General’ - Faiz  -

In a press conference this afternoon, Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) blasted the Bush administration’s decision to fire Nevada-based U.S. attorney Daniel Bogden.

00.000.2003 -in his last job performance evaluation- Bogden “was described as being a ‘capable’ leader who was highly regarded by the federal judiciary and investigators.

‘He didn’t get any dings,’ said a Justice Department official with knowledge of the review. ‘The overall evaluation was very positive.’”

Ensign said he was “flabbergasted when [he] first heard….that not a single conversation had been had between” Bogden and the Department of Justice prior to the firing. Ensign said the firing had been “completely mishandled by the U.S. Attorney General.” He added, “A good leader does not just fire someone for no good reason.” Via Pipeline:

Everything that conspires must converge The Cunningham/Wilkes scandal links up with Wally Hilliard (the owner of the flight school frequented by Mohammed Atta) and a notorious seized drug jet.

The linkage is roundabout but, according to Daniel Hopsicker's latest piece, highly intriguing.
Brent Wilkes' charitable foundation was managed by his brother, Gregory Wilkes. Greg Wilkes had another position as well:
...he was the Controller for an unfortunate "Bush Pioneer" named R.D. Hubbard, busted flying almost a dozen hookers by private jet

00.Jun.2001 to a casino he owned to service men government documents have only identified as “48 wealthy guests.”
Back in the '80's Hubbard was involved in a number of Michael Milken-financed "greenmail" takeover attempts, partnered with Midland, Texas oilmen Wagner and Brown Ltd.
Strangely, 00.000.2001 Wagner and Brown became the last known registered owner of the Lear jet which belonged to terror flight school owner Wally Hilliard until it was seized by DEA agents in Orlando who found 43 lbs. of heroin onboard.
Small world. Long-time readers may recall that this is not the first time the Wilkes circle was connected with a seized drug jet.

Außerdem fanden die Wissenschaftler heraus, dass die meisten der übernommenen Gene dem Bakterium nicht zur Verbesserung der Leistungsfähigkeit in seiner bekannten Umgebung dienten, sondern ausschließlich dafür bestimmt waren, ihm die Anpassung an veränderte Lebensbedingungen zu ermöglichen.

Assets of reported CIA front-man frozen in Turkey A court in Turkey has ruled to freeze the assets of Yasin al-Qadi, a reported CIA asset and “chief money launderer” of Osama bin Laden.

Unacceptable solution
Ethanol energy proposal would starve people to fuel cars
The following article, republished from the Daily Gazette and the Troy Record, explains why ethanol is no cure to America's energy addiction.

9/11 Press For Truth Accused of Spreading Disinformation
A full rebuttal to recent accusations that the documentary 9/11 Press For Truth contains disinformation.

Ptech owner's assets confiscated in Albania
The Albanian government has seized the assets of a wealthy Saudi that, for several years, reportedly maintained simultaneous connections to both al-Qaeda and the U.S. government while serving the interests of the CIA.

Illegal 'terror ops' may explain White House censorship
A former National Security Council official who

recently accused the White House of censoring his op-ed piece for the New York Times may be threatening to expose the Bush Administration’s protection + utilization of an anti-Iranian terrorist organization.

9/11 'paymaster' back in court, may be cleared of Pearl's death
Omar Sheikh, a reported CIA asset + primary financer of the 9/11 attacks, is back in court to appeal his conviction in the Daniel Pearl murder case.

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's recently released book has provided Omar's lawyers with new evidence that may overturn the 2002 verdict.

Drug mafia, CIA blamed for sacking of Afghan governor
In a country flooded with narcotics traffickers + corrupt government officials, one of Afghanistan’s few remaining ‘clean’ governors, Mohammed Daud, has been removed from his position + many are blaming the drug mafia + the CIA for his abrupt dismissal. Updated.

Response to Chris Hedges article defending Sami al-Arian
Respected writer Chris Hedges has written a misguided article defending admitted terrorist financer and one-time associate of President Bush Sami al-Arian.

Terror suspect to speak in Northern Virginia
Dr. M. Yaqub Mirza, a suspected money launderer + terrorist financer, will speak tomorrow at Shenandoah University in Northern Virginia.

Mirza headed the 'SAAR' network, which was raided during

00.000.2002 "Operation Greenquest".

He also was a cofounder of the U.S. defense contractor Ptech. Updated: open letter to The Winchester Star.

US-terror links kept in the dark as former Bush associate refuses to testify
Fearing for his life, Sami al-Arian, an admitted terrorist financer and one-time acquaintance of President George W. Bush, has refused to provide information to a federal grand jury regarding a Northern Virginia-based criminal network with connections to the U.S. government.

Another 'double agent'
Omar Nasiri worked for al-Qaeda and Western intelligence simultaneously...and apparently so did his friends Abu Zubayda and Abu Hamza al-Masri.

Al-Qaeda leader now 'key informant'
Abu Zubaydah, the one-time al-Qaeda leader turned secret CIA detainee, has been identified as a “key informant” in the Jose Padilla trial. Zubaydah, who fought for the CIA in Afghanistan during the 1980s, went on to train militants during the 1990s for operations in Bosnia + Chechnya.

Scratching the Surface
Writing for Spero News, Adrian Morgan scratches the surface of the CIA-supported al-Qaeda network, mentioning Yassin al-Qadi's alleged support for Bosnia's war-time president Alija Izetbegovic. Al-Qadi, a 'friend' of Dick Cheney and alleged "chief money launderer" of Osama bin Laden, owned a US-government contracted company and reported CIA-front known as Ptech.

Musharraf names 9/11 suspect as possible British asset
Fails to mention links to 9/11, ISI, CIA
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's new book identifies Omar Sheikh, the alleged 9/11 'paymaster', as a possible asset of the British intelligence agency MI6. Omar reportedly financed the 9/11 attacks under orders from General Mahmud, the head of Pakistan's ISI who was in Washington on 9/11, a fact omitted from Musharraf's book.
